You don’t have to have a PC to watch BBC programmes you missed - this phone runs the brilliant iPlayer application, allowing you to watch available shows wherever you are. The BBC has been testing the Live TV service since September. To access it users must have a compatible mobile phone with a Wi-Fi connection.
If anyone is caught watching television on their mobile without a licence, which costs £142.50, they could be fined up to £1000. The free service is only available within Britain. However, it will be a while before the service is available to all as currently only a limited number of handsets can access the Live TV service.
The service offers selected live programmes from BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, CBeebies and CBBC, as well as BBC News and Parliament. Users can also listen to selected radio stations, including Radio One and Radio Four.
The BBC does not have the rights to show all of its output on Live TV, so some sports broadcasts, such as live football matches, and imported programmes will not be shown. It’s onvenient, but the screen is too small for prolonged viewing.
